722 homes sold in November 2016, 15.3% over last November and
the best November since the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS®
(LSTAR) began keeping track in 1978. "To get to the runner up for best
November ever, you have to go back twenty years to 1996, when 673 homes
exchanged hands," says Stacey Evoy, LSTAR's 2016 President, noting that
2016 continues to break records, scoring the best September, April, June,
August, October, and now November – six months in total. Year to Date, sales
are up 9.8%.
Listings were down 12.5% in November, while inventory – as
represented by the number of active listings at month end - was down 36.6%.
"If you have thoughts of listing your home, now is a perfect time to do
so. As we have seen throughout 2016, we have a high demand with a low supply.
Timing is perfect," says Evoy.
Just as President Stacey says it is the perfect time to sell your home or cottage and with the snow not flying here yet it is still not too late!
